My car porch walls have a lot of crack lines. I am looking for contractor to repair. Not keen on tiling up the wall cause too expensive nor do i plan to paint it. I thought of just doing smooth cement finish
Any advise what i should tell the contractor to ensure that the wall will not have crack lines and can last? does it need waterproofing or sealant paint? This post has been edited by 7up: Nov 23 2021, 01:08 PM |

QUOTE(BTKee @ Nov 23 2021, 02:21 PM) Hi! It is best to remove all paint then sealed up the crack line with cement (special for crack repair). any brand cement?Then apply good sealant paint or waterproof paint which is having high elongation. Personally, I recommend Dong Fang Yu Hong - Smar Coating. [attachmentid=11044929]  |

What about if i want to add on tiles? Do we need to wait for the cement to dry up then do the tiling or its done together?
